The only KWS show I ever went to. I remember being shocked at how incredible this performance was. He played like he was possessed. I went to HS with Kenny, same grade, and didn’t know he even played until his song While We Cried was on the radio. I’ve been a fan since then…but this particular performance is the best guitar solo work I’ve ever witnessed. Glad it got recorded and I can watch it almost 30 years later!
Cool guy I was so impressed when I first heard his guitar off the "Ledbetter Heights" album that I was having a hard time with the music of that time as when I heard him and SRV "In Step" I fell in the blues trail and remained in this genre for 30 years. I've yet to see him in person but I will be seeing him this month in Montgomery,Al. On the 19th seen you guys there.
@@devinmac5547 I am an acquaintance/friend of Cory..He had to go get clean (Joe Walsh even sponsored him) when he came back..they replaced him and he stated to me that when he went to visit Joe..Everyone seemed to be acting towards him like "Whom are you" type thing..But he is doing great now..has a lot more weight now...and is a great guy overall..Always willing to talk to ya !
@Swift River I saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd back in 1997 he was on the G3 tour with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. They each played a set and then they all came out for an encore set together finishing the night with a monster rendition of "Red House!" I was blown away and i must say it was the concert of a lifetime...😎
My first time listing to the band I seen the signiture fender strat man roll over Batoven Mr Shepherd is in town and tell Austin City Limets the news who handed this Katt the torch great move the whole Group of musicians where great...RocknRoll will never Die....RocknRollFlat5
Wow been coming back to watch this video for a decade now. Wonder how many of those views are mine (few hundred at least)? BTW this was from a set they did live for Austin City Limits on PBS back when TV was still worth watching.
I was playing drums for Little Milton in 2000 and played a show or 2 w KWS. I remember he looked like a kid on a cell phone in Syracuse, checking in, Noah Hunt was in front of me, we all ended up drinking all night in the bar. They loved and respected Milton. If you love blues, you know who he was.
Kenny Wayne took the stage all by himself when he was only 18 and tore it up on Austin City Limits if my memory serves me correctly. I thought that I might find it on YT but so far no luck. Anybody else see him on ACL or are my memory banks corroded? Man he was just killing it...
I like Kenny's tone even better back then. I felt like he saved music a little at that time, when the great 90's bands were fizzling out. I spent the rest of the weekend with Corey Sterling after his last show with Kenny at Memphis in May (and a wild weekend it was). He was pretty bummed. He said he was leaving because he felt Kenny, management, etc, wouldn't allow him to have any creative input into the band. He wanted to write. He felt he was only a hired hand/musician & not in a band like he'd envisioned.
There is a extended version of this that was recorded in Bob's garage in Seattle that blows this in the ditch , I remember it being 20+ minutes or so. It was a high quality recording. only if we could get Bob Rivers to post it on here. I have seen him twice here in Seattle. Top notch.
If there was a Mount Rushmore for Blue guitar players, KWS would definitely be up there. I have had the pleasure of seeing him in concert several times. KWS, you Rock!
This was the first song that I heard from Kenny Wayne Shepherd, I fell in love with that song, and I went out and bought the tape. Been a big fan of his ever since❤❤❤
This band’s performance is just totally phenomenal! They sound like a band that’s been playing for 10+. I saw KWS in Nashville,Tn in 2003 and didn’t want the damn show to end. I personally like his version of Voodoo Child better than SRV but they’re both unfreaking real!
I sooo love Corey's voice! Noah is great, but Corey. . . Wow!!! He was last singing with the Chris Aaron's Band. Not a lot on youtube of them, but have found some. Check them out. Pretty soulful in their own right.
Outstanding after all these years...one of my favourite tracks and albums...Corey Sterling and KWS complement one another with all the band members helping to produce a classic in blues rock. Corey did go on to perform with CAB and is greatly missed....if only he was still in the business..maybe one day.
Saw y'all in lafayette louisiana in 1981 or 1982 at Grant Street. Been in love with this ICONIC band for 40 years!!! Please KWS BAND come back to LAFAYETTE LOUISIANA😀😀😀💙💙💙
+Shannon Campbell, Your welcome to try you dumb ass. You might find out how much I support the 2nd amendment. BTW: There's another reason that Ole Cory isn't around anymore. He sucked then, and he sucks now. Now why don't you and your girlfriend Cory go suck together. FYI: Your internet threat to "hunt me down" is a felony and a U.S. federal crime now likely of the interest of the FBI and DHS. ;)
was only 1 years old when this was filmed. saw them at the tampa blues festival last month first time. i may have been a tad drunk but maaaan ill never forget that show!!!!
Cory was amazing! I also love Noah just as much. Both unique in thier own right. It would be nice to have Cory back for some vocals but I wouldn't sacrifice Noah he needs to stay as well.

RIP Corey. You're the best vocalist
Didn’t know
RIP
I love you Corey 🖤 you will be missed... Rest in paradise my beautiful friend... I will never forget the time we spent together...🖤💔
He died!?!? What happened? ☹️
@@RebelliousHutterite2 Yes he died in August 2024
😢😢😢
Oh no not another great legend gone so heart broken loved Corey since I’ve listened to Deja voodoo and more of Kenny’s great songs 😢

Ya agree.....Lead singer was absolutely incredible
Seems like yesterday this tune hit airwaves..still gives me chills.. guitar and vocals…
Cory Sterling Was the Best Match for Kenny 's Guitar Sound !.
By far better lead singer than Noah. Kenny messed up letting Corey go.
@@toddotterson7568 Why did he let him go?
@@devinmac5547 I am an acquaintance/friend of Cory..He had to go get clean (Joe Walsh even sponsored him) when he came back..they replaced him and he stated to me that when he went to visit Joe..Everyone seemed to be acting towards him like "Whom are you" type thing..But he is doing great now..has a lot more weight now...and is a great guy overall..Always willing to talk to ya !
@@poormansguitar5471 You know Cory from the Shwa?
That's what I was thinking
I almost forgot to watch this today
Dang... Corey's voice is absolute gold. Holy smokes, to have pipes like that...
😎✌️
True that
Timeless ! Corey come back to KWS Band 😈
I love Corey Sterlings voice I got freedom 5 mile so i could hear him wish he was still singing!!
Watched this today, love you Corey ❤ rest in paradise ❤
What does this mean
No one like Corey Sterling, saw them in 02, he's the heart ♥❤
some guys were just born to play guitar ... KWS is one of them
You're right, EJ. Mozart and Schubert were composing their first symphonies when they were 5. KWS had the same type of start, just 200 years later on.
srv
Still one of my favorites of all time. Kenny Wayne kicks ass... n Cory could melt ice with that voice.

The band's best song, and best live version.
Wow been coming back to watch this video for a decade now. Wonder how many of those views are mine (few hundred at least)? BTW this was from a set they did live for Austin City Limits on PBS back when TV was still worth watching.
Make that 15 years now. ;)

BEST Version ever...
Cory is the best man I miss him... :(
I just found him !!! Bk livin in Oshawa Ontario !! lol
yes,he is the best singer and a very good friend!
Magnifique 🤩 (France)
RIP Corey. He was in my extended family. Gone too soon. 💔⚘🎙🎵🙏🕊💜🌈
Great singer. Didn't know him, but he fits perfect with the guitar and the band.
I love that album! It’s one of my favorite!
I remember my first time hearing Kenny Wayne Shepherd at the St. Louis KSHE Fest hearing tis song and it was my firs concert ever. It was incredible
I saw him at BB King's promoting the album...ten feet away. Gotta love blues bars! :)
Same time I seen him for 2nd time
Kenny Wayne took the stage all by himself when he was only 18 and tore it up on Austin City Limits if my memory serves me correctly. I thought that I might find it on YT but so far no luck. Anybody else see him on ACL or are my memory banks corroded? Man he was just killing it...
was talking to cory yesterday in oshawa..first time seeing him in 15 years..
Lucky

Corey Sterling has passed away from a massive heart attack. 10/26/24 I will miss you my sweet friend.

When i grow up i wanna be KWS!!!
Corey has that blues voice! "Claps"
So sexy song....and Kenny is unbelievable, also Corey:))
Magical tone, flawless performance.
tone oh sweet tone where art thou
God i miss music like this!
💯
Really these guys are AMAZING
Sounds like Stevie Ray never left this earth. This is phenomenal. The tone, the licks. Wow.
It's over the top. 🫴🎩
Indeed!
Kenny was inspired by a SRV concert
I saw him in Sam Antonio the night before in a small club. I will never forget. Best KWS band ever.
KWS and Corey just killt it...❤🔥🔥❤
I have been watching this video for over 10 years and still am amazed by the incredible performance.
Kenny Wayne is perhaps the best rock/blues guitar player since the late great SRV !
chris duarte
He’s not as good as Eric Johnson lol
Sorry but Jeff Healy was the greatest.
Johnny Lang...
Walter Trout. A true survivor.
Rest in peace Corey 🕊️🕊️
He was great right from the start. Saw him at CPI 's on long island around the Same time. Great show. 😎
Excellent song, this and Blue on black are my two favorite KWS songs! Found Kenny completely by accident in a music store, glad I did!
If there was a Mount Rushmore for Blue guitar players, KWS would definitely be up there. I have had the pleasure of seeing him in concert several times. KWS, you Rock!
Dude can play.
RIP Corey Sterling 🙏
This was the first song that I heard from Kenny Wayne Shepherd, I fell in love with that song, and I went out and bought the tape. Been a big fan of his ever since❤❤❤
1st saw him at Headliners in Lou., Ky bout this time seen him many times since, most recently at Arcada in St Charles I’ll 2021❤️🎼👍
RIP, Corey.

They came to the Casino out in Chicagoland and I missed it. 😔
I sooo love Corey's voice! Noah is great, but Corey. . . Wow!!! He was last singing with the Chris Aaron's Band. Not a lot on youtube of them, but have found some. Check them out. Pretty soulful in their own right.
this is incredible! Love the organ and keys in the beginning!
Thus guy ,Ciry!- comein!- he adds that little raunch -& it goes so well wth , Kenny s playing,!‼️👍🎶🎤🎤🎸🎵🆒❤️🇺🇲
Man, Corey Sterling is fire!
kenny has blues in his soul
Corey Sterling 💥 SO VERY HOT💥 a guy come down to Earth and the only one who can sing next to KWS AND STILL BE HEARD!!!
Fabulous still in '24..
Outstanding after all these years...one of my favourite tracks and albums...Corey Sterling and KWS complement one another with all the band members helping to produce a classic in blues rock.
Corey did go on to perform with CAB and is greatly missed....if only he was still in the business..maybe one day.
How in this sht hole hell we live in haven't I ever heard this guy sing before now
Have been a Kenny Wayne Shepard fan since the 90's
Ledbetter heights get the album.
NO ONE SHOULD EVER SING THIS SONG EXCEPT COREY STERLING.
I’m a Noah Hunt guy but Cory knocks this out of the park! This is intense.
Thats fo sho
The best voice around....Hopefully he will come back to singing like Beth Hart did after years of struggling with alcohol, etc.....
Ive just hooked up with Cory recently !! Talking bout jamin again !!!! Love that guys voice !!
That's awesome news. Come back Corey.
Yall young dudes are on fire. That voice is awesome and your guitar is smoking. Well done
❤️✌️😎 smokin' jam.
kenny sure rocked it that night
😂 musical spiritual transcendence. ✌️😎💯
Saw y'all in lafayette louisiana in 1981 or 1982 at Grant Street. Been in love with this ICONIC band for 40 years!!! Please KWS BAND come back to LAFAYETTE LOUISIANA😀😀😀💙💙💙
Couldn't have been 81 or 82. Kenny would have only been 4 to 5 years old! Lol
1991 I believe.
RIP Corey Sterling
I saw His band. Polaris Columbus Ohio.. 1998 ...Yeah..Working it.
Wow jim, you know EVERYTHING.
Fricken awesome!!! Omg!
austin city limits always gets the sound mix PERFECT
Clean sound, no room for mistakes. Flawless.
amazing guitarist
"And right here we got Mr. Kenny Wayne Shepherd on... Shreveport, Louisiana!" Hahaha that part cracked me up
I would have said "That guy over there.....let's hear it for uh, him...."
+Sebastian Clemmons Your not far from the truth. Ole Cory is/was a crackhead, that's why he wasn't around KWS anymore much after Ledbetter Heights.
+Shannon Campbell, Your welcome to try you dumb ass. You might find out how much I support the 2nd amendment. BTW: There's another reason that Ole Cory isn't around anymore. He sucked then, and he sucks now. Now why don't you and your girlfriend Cory go suck together. FYI: Your internet threat to "hunt me down" is a felony and a U.S. federal crime now likely of the interest of the FBI and DHS. ;)
+Richard Smith listen cop caller..Good luck with that...GOOOOFFFFF..
+Shannon Campbell Good for you Shannon !!! 81 force be with you !!! lol
The best live version on YT
ohmygosh!!!! this cat can sing...
Yeah...actually it's a shame he's not with KWS anymore but Noah Hunt can bring it too !! He's a badass as well.
@@matt_man0005 nope Corey was the beast
@@alabama1974…..I agree with you. I'm a huge Corey Sterling fan. Got to meet him when he was with Chris Aaron, a few years ago.
KWS is incredibile. Love it! ❤️
Awww such a love
was only 1 years old when this was filmed. saw them at the tampa blues festival last month first time. i may have been a tad drunk but maaaan ill never forget that show!!!!
A totally knock~ out !
Absolutely amazing ❤❤
it's rare, but i like this more than the studio versionl. js
He couldn't have gotten any better than Sterling
That tone is it man. Wish I had his budget.
Awesome tune!
The 37 that gave thumbs down are either deaf, Bieber fans, or both..
+Thomas Totten what does this even have to with bieber? i mean seriously
Can you read?
DEAF!!!!
67 deaf MF’s now
Lol 😊😮🎉😂🎉
Love you so much !
Omg, so awesome!
Just beautiful
I always liked Corey the best he paired beautifully with Kenny and the guys. Im saddened to hear he passed. I liked his stank hand too.
This performance was from a TV program called Austin City Limits ... many a great artist passed through ...
This ISSS AMAZING ❤🖖💙
Excellent tune 😎😎😎
First time I saw KWS live was at a place that if he wanted to come watch him self he'd be too young to get in! BTW, simply put, he is BAD ASS!
Cory was amazing! I also love Noah just as much. Both unique in thier own right. It would be nice to have Cory back for some vocals but I wouldn't sacrifice Noah he needs to stay as well.
I’m Team Noah, but I have to admit that Corey sounds good.
Dauum what a sexy song! 😮
Wonderful song! ❤
Wow!!! Thanks!!!
Excellent blues
intro makes me Giggle ,, Kenny's on Shreveport,;, damit he got BIG !
💥 TOGETHER THEY ARE PURE FIRE 💥
You can tell it's the 90's by the jeans Corey is wearing. What a song!!!
And his hair
